Abstract:
The invention relates to a stabilising and supporting device (1) for the pivot of a clutch release lever (10). It consists of a securing bolt (2) with a polymeric securing section, a pivot region on the side towards the clutch lever and two stabilisation regions (3, 4) diametrically opposite the longitudinal axis (15) of the bolt, wherein there are a thickened region (6) on the securing bolt and an extension section (8) after it. To optimise stabilisation and the correctness of the pivot, the securing section (9) takes the form of an axial section which can be accepted peripherally within an aperture edge (12) of the clutch lever for radial guidance. In the operating condition, the two stabilisation regions (3, 4) are centred with respect to the longitudinal bolt axis by the thickened region and connected together via a connecting pin (25) with a central aperture (26) to take the thickened region so that it can move, and in the production condition are connected with the securing bolt via a connection section (36) with a predetermined breaking point (37), and the entire device is made of polymeric material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ball stop (7) for maintaining in position an axially and/or pivotably movable control component, especially a shift linkage of the gear box for motor vehicles. In order to reduce the number of components and simplify assembly, and manufacture, both the casing (10) and the guide component (14) guided therein via a cage (17) fitted with rollers (18) are deep-drawn components. Here, the guide component (14) is fitted with an inwardly directed collar (28) which serves both to guide the stop ball (9) and to support the ball cup (26) in which the stop ball is also guided. The ball cup (20) is held against the latter via the push-out spring (33). In addition, the casing (10) has an inwardly directed edge (20) which is flanged after the assembly of the components and also serves as a stop for the push-out movement of the guide component (14) in relation to the casing (10) in which the frontal surface (25) of the cage (17) is supported, against the other frontal surface (24) of which lies the collar (22) of the guide component (14).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a hydraulic release mechanism (1) for a friction clutch located within a clutch housing (13). The clutch has a pressure connecting piece (11) that is guided through a recess (12) in the clutch housing. To seal the pressure joint (11), a ring groove (17) is provided in the vicinity of the recess (12), into which the sealing element (16) locks positively.
Abstract:
A guide rail (5) for a linear bearing, with several through apertures (4) running from the rail top surface (3) and spaced apart one behind another to accept securing components, has a longitudinal groove (2) open towards the top surface (3) of the rail and extending over the entire length of said guide rail (5) and a cover strip (1) inserted into and secured to the longitudinal groove (2) and sealing the through apertures (4) off on the outside. According to the invention, the cover strip (1) is wider than the longitudinal groove (2) of the guide rail (5) and is inserted into said groove (2) with a bulge towards the guide rail (5). This provides a firm but easily releasable arrangement of the cover strip (1) in the longitudinal groove (2) of the guide rail (5).
Abstract:
The pockets (10) of the cage (5) of a radial roller bearing have means arranged on the roller body inner or outer mounting which maintain the roller bodies (6) against an inner or outer race during assembly. A sagging of the cylindrical rollers (6) caused by the force of gravity is thereby prevented enabling a shaft (4) to be easily pushed into the bearing. These means are designed to be so filigrane and elastically ductile that when the bearing is operated they become ineffective after a few rotations, meaning that a normal operating play ensues between the roller bodies (6) and the cage (5).
Abstract:
In a device (1) for modifying the opening and closing times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, high-frequency knocking of the regulating piston at one of its end positions when the engine is started again is to be avoided by simple means. For this purpose, a slide (18) secured against rotation in relation to a section (19) of the housing connected to a driving wheel (2) is mounted in one of the pressure chambers (15, 16). This slide (18) can be positively coupled to a driven unit (12) by the force of a compression spring, against the falling pressure of the hydraulic medium. This prevents the regulating piston (8) from moving further in the axial direction immediately after the internal combustion engine is started and until the device (1) is filled again with hydraulic medium, thus preventing the high-frequency knocking of the piston at its corresponding end position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for a gas exchange valve-operated internal combustion engine with at least one camshaft (2) fitted in the cylinder head which permits a rotary movement of the camshaft (2) in relation to a drive pinion (3), in which the device (1) has a piston (11) adjustable between two end stops, fitted in a housing (12) and forming two pressure chambers (13, 14) enclosed by the housing (12), where the pressure chambers (13, 14) can be alternately connected to a pressure medium supply or discharge and the adjusting piston (11) is moved into a basic position when the engine is stationary and bears against an end stop (17). According to the invention, the device (1) comprises a securing member (16a, 16b) by means of which the adjusting piston (11) can be readily held in relation to the housing (12) during the starting phase of the engine, and in the pressure chamber (13) is fitted the securing member (16a, 16b), to which pressure can be applied to move the adjusting piston (11) from the basic position into a desired operative position.
Abstract:
The claimed switch arresting device (1a) comprises a hollow cylindrical housing (2a) along the inner wall of which an interior element (3a) can slide longitudinally and is subjected to the force of a compression spring (6) fitted between a floor (5) of the housing (2a) and the interior element. An end-position stop element (10a) is provided between the housing (2a) and interior element (3a) to limit the adjustment path. According to the invention, the interior element (3a) can slide longitudinally in the housing (2a) by means of a sliding bearing (4) and is provided between the tubular sections of the interior element (3a) and housing (2a), to create an end-position stop element (10a) for one of these components, with a radially protruding tab (11a) which exerts a spring force and clicks into a recess (12a) in the neighbouring component.
Abstract:
A process for producing a synchronising ring for a synchronising device is characterised in that a sheet-metal strip (1) is given conical friction surfaces (2, 3) curving downwards at both ends by a shaping process, in a further shaping process along a longitudinal axis a thinner region (4) is formed between the friction surfaces (2, 3), pieces are stamped out in said region (4) to form securing tongues (9,10) and connecting webs (7), the sheet metal strips (1) are extended so that two synchronising rings (13, 14) with their securing tongues (9, 10) held together by the connecting webs (7) are produced by bending around and welding which are finally joined to form finished synchronising rings (13, 14) by severing the connecting webs (7). The process of the invention makes it possible to produce two synchronising rings (13, 14) on one operational sequence, unlike the case with prior art processes.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a tensioning device for the chain (3) of an internal combustion engine, for example a control drive, the tensioning device comprising a guide rail (8), a pivotably mounted tension lever (15) and a tension element (13) which exerts tension force on the sliding block (18) by means of a pressure spring (14). According to the invention, two sliding blocks (17, 18) acting on the chain (3) in different directions are disposed on the tension lever (15) which has a fixed pivot axis (16). In this way, the tensioning device can be used in a very small space and can equalize a long chain elongation.
